Veterinary Dental Training Center

Animal Dental Care & Oral Surgery is pleased to offer dental training classes for veterinarians and veterinary technicians. Dr. Vall and Dr. Woodward are board certified in veterinary dentistry, and have trained over a thousand doctors and technicians in practical veterinary dental techniques. High instructor to student ratios and excellent equipment ensure a quality training experience for all participants.

In just two days in the Introduction toVeterinary Dentistry and Radiology and Introduction to Veterinary Oral and Periodontal Surgery classes, you and your staff can learn all of the techniques needed to deliver 90% of all the dental problems encountered in small animal practice.

Eight CE credits are available for the Introduction to Veterinary Dentistry and Radiology and Introduction to Veterinary Oral and Periodontal Surgery classes.

The Advanced Surgical Extractions and Periodontal Surgery in Dogs course is designed for veterinarians seeking more advanced training. This course focuses on recognizing oral pathology and knowing what surgical intervention to apply is one of the most challenging aspects of veterinary dentistry for general practitioners.

The goal of the Introduction for Feline Dentistry and Oral Surgery course is to help veterinarians get more comfortable with cat dentistry and is for veterinarians only. The course curriculum focuses on anatomy, oral pathology, regional anesthesia, a step-by-step approach on extractions and extraction complications.

Classes are a combination of lecture and wet lab, and include detailed handouts, breakfast, lunch, lab materials, individual specimens, and complimentary instrument sets.

Unlike most wet labs held at national meetings, you do not waste a lot of time waiting for materials or instruction. Every participant has their own set of instrumentation and specimen.

Upcoming Courses

The Introduction to Veterinary Oral and Periodontal Surgery class is for doctors only and is limited to 8 veterinarians with two instructors and one assistant. This class is approved for 8 hours of continuing education credits. Tuition for this class is $850

Dental Course Testimonials

Testimonials

"Hands down I can say that your courses have changed the direction of my veterinary career. Like most vets, I received limited dentistry education in school and truly disliked dentistry for years after graduating. When I completed Level I and II courses in 2013, I felt like a cloud had lifted! What was once so frustrating and anxiety producting became much more straightforward. The skills I learned were immediately applicable and usable in practice. It did not take long for me to realize that I actually LOVE dentistry and it has grown to be a huge part of my practice. This fall I completed both the Level III and Feline Dentistry courses and found them to be the perfect compliment to the previous courses. A big thank you to Dr. Vall, Dr. Redman, and Dr. Guillory for being so personable and patient and being willing to share your knowledge base with general practitioners like me. Thank you!"

"Just wanted to say how great the FelineDentistry CE was! It was amazing, important and pertinent to go over the behavior and handling part for cats. That was such forward thinking! I love the client manual, so thank you for that too! Not only was the information great, but it was very refreshingly well-rounded CE. Thanks so much again. We are all lucky to have taken this course!

"I have trained under Dr. Vall and team for nearly 10 years. He and his team are among the most skilled and compassionate veterinary dentist/oral surgeons I had the pleasure to work with. I hope to pattern my practice after his lead as he has definitely set the bar."

Kipp Wingo, DVM, DAVDC

"Thanks for an excellent overview of feline dentistry. My first procedure day back I had a technician owned kitty that required extraction of both maxillary canines, both mandibular MT's, and had severe type 2 resorption of maxillary pre-molars. I felt more confident in all of my treatment decisions! I will surely reach out to your practice with questions in the future. Thanks again for sharing your expertise! We will continue to try to send associates your way."
